Wine-Fueled Ponzi Scheme at the Center of Manhattan DA Investigation | Eater
"A prestigious Bordeaux wine estate and its owner, Philippe Rothschild, were invoked in allegations that an email was forged to create the appearance of an endorsement or formal tie to a high-end events business. Prosecutors and civil plaintiffs say the purported correspondence was used to convince investors to fund lavish, unprofitable ventures, effectively exploiting the estate's reputation to lend credibility to the scheme." - Jaya Saxena
